I believe that nil ltepublicaus should have equal powor in tho houso of representatives." Hayes explained his vote for the insurgents by saying that he was guided by tho principles at issue and not by personal consideration. ' Following tho vote, Cannon said that ho majority should rule and that at any time ho would entertain a motion for tho election of n new spenkor.
